In 1991, 16-year-old Laurie Show became the victim of stalking and harassment by her classmate, Lisa Michelle Lambert. Lambert was enraged that Laurie had briefly dated her boyfriend, Lawrence “Butch” Yunkin, who she was currently expecting a baby with. Lambert became obsessively jealous, believing that Laurie was attempting to steal him away from her, when in reality, Laurie wanted nothing to do with him as she had told her mother that he had date raped her while dating. Nevertheless, Lambert continually harassed and threatened Laurie, even showing up to her work. Multiple witnesses reported that Lambert had spoken of her desire to slit Laurie’s throat. On 21 December, 1991, Laurie’s mother, Hazel, received a phone call from somebody who she believed was the school counsellor, asking her to come down to the school to talk about the problems between the two girls. In reality, this phone call was a diversion by Lambert to get Hazel out of the house so that Laurie was alone. When Hazel returned home later, she found Laurie in a pool of her own blood with “a five-inch gash to the throat; a stab wound that punctured a lung and another that grazed her spine; several wounds to the head; and a number of defensive wounds.” Miraculously she was still alive and managed to tell Hazel that Lambert had done this to her before passing away. Lisa Lambert was sentenced to life imprisonment. Lampert’s boyfriend, Lawrence, who had dropped Lambert off at Laurie’s house, was paroled in 2003 after testifying against Lambert. -- source link
